1956 Franklin PR67. Slight rotated reverse

#1 Unread post by RevElvisLee »

Hi everyone. So I'm looking at a Franklin half proof in PCGS holder that they assigned a PR67 grade to. Not too shabby. I've had it for awhile now and I've noticed that on the reverse the bell doesn't quite strike 12, but has a counter-clockwise orientation that's off by a couple of degrees. More like 11:30 than 12:00. I thought maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me, so I took a shot of each side, making sure the holder was lined up against a straight edge each time, then combined the two. Then I... well, it's just easier to show you than describe the pic I'm gonna post anyway. But the question is, aren't proofs supposed to be perfect-ish? I know 15% is considered significant for business strikes, but proofs are supposed to be held to a higher standard, right?

Just to quickly clarify, what I'm getting at is:

Is that 2 or 3 degrees enough to bother with trying to get an error attribution, or is this a common occurrence?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Even of proofs, an error this small is a normal thing. It can happen anywhere :)
